If Collins fails to make it, right back Rhys Bennett has experience there.

Otherwise, with no emergency loans now available to clubs, Mansfield may have to turn to youngsters like Corbin Shires or Keiran Harrison to come in and do a job.

“It will be a week of hard work on the training ground with a positive mental attitude,” continued Murray.

“We want to build on the performances from the last three games. I think the style we are playing and the way we’re going about it, we are creating a lot of chances.

“We created a lot of chances first half on Saturday and my only critique of us at the minute is we to start being a little bit more ruthless with our opportunities as we could have had three first half Saturday and should have had at least two.

“You can’t go to places like Portsmouth and not take chances – not just centre forwards. We are getting opportunities. At Derby we scored three goals away from home and we need to stay with that kind of ruthlessness as the thing that’s letting us down at the minute is small individual errors and we are not having enough killer edge in the two 18 yard boxes which is where games are won and lost.”
